"Musical Energy lies not only within the dyamics of pieces or powerful sound effects, but in the melody evoking or creating an atmosphere" |
Julius DOBOS was born in Budapest, Hungary. He began studying the piano at the age of five. After winning several competition awards his interest turned to composing. Completing his musical education in Budapest, he studied filmscore writing in Germany. In 1995 he made his debut with a collection of pieces titled Mountain Flying, which were broadcast by National Radio and Television.
Following several commissions for short pieces, music for TV and logo theme music he composed and co-produced Connecting Images in 1998 at the request of Nokia. Julius worked with Grammy Award-winner Martha Sebestyén and the Budapest Monteverdi Choir. The CD was a great hit: it earned the Platinum status.
In the same year, due to the success of Connecting Images he was commissioned to produce an original Hollywood-style score for Europe Express, the first Hungarian action-adventure movie of the 90's. The filmscore became an instant success in audiences and at Film Festivals. Julius got involved with numerous projects that were looking for his composing skills and style from different parts of the world: he produced original music for a radio-play about the Balkan wars, original score for the US short film, Black Strawberries music for Thend and many more.
While writing music for film, the composer was also working to realize his dream, Mountain Flying, based on his debut work of the same title. He recorded the album in 1999 with the 80-piece North Hungarian Symphony Orchestra, the 50-voice Monteverdi Choir, and several known guest artists, including Martha Sebestyén. The album became an international success and reached five continents of the World.
